Wheat Production in Panhandle Farms Highlighted

In 1932 Cheyenne averaged nearly three million bushels despite a poor national wheat year. Infant mortality rates are low in Nebraska, which leads a national exhibit at the Chicago World’s Fair showing improvements in infant mortality across counties and states.
